The Article was amended in notification no. G-2—1579/X—904(5)–1961, dated November 2, 1963. Previously it stood as follows in respect of members of the Provincial, Subordinate and Specialist services:

"353—No pension may be granted to an officer dismissed or removed for misconduct, insolvency or inefficiency ; but to officers so dismissed or removed compassionate allowance may be granted when they are deserving of special consideration; provided that the allowance granted to any officer shall not exceed two-thirds of the pension which would have been admissible to him if he had retired on medical certificate."
